Frankenstein! opened on Halloween at West Liberty University’s Nutting Gallery. The reception was scheduled to run 6 to 8 pm, but the last visitors to the gallery did not leave until after 9:30! It was a fun, energy-filled evening, with lots of positive feedback about the 38 works in the show. Check out the slide show of the opening:

The Nutting Gallery at West Liberty University opened the exhibition Frankenstein! on Halloween, October 31, 2012. The exhibition consists of work by 38 artists, each work being based on Mary Shelly’s novel, Frankenstein.

I work on the exhibition schedule a year or more in advance. While I was planning the 2012-13 exhibition schedule, I realized that the third show of the fall semester would begin on October 31. Halloween! This was too good to pass up, and thus the Frankenstein theme was born.

Of the thirty-eight artists participated in the exhibition, sixteen of the artists in the Frankenstein exhibition come from WV, seven from Ohio, fourteen from Pennsylvania, and one from Seattle. Seven of the artists are WLU art faculty, and nine are WLU alumni. There is a wide range of media being represented, including painting, drawing, sculpture, clay, fiber, and mixed-media. Here is a slide show of the exhibition:
